COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS: CRAFTS AT TORONTO PUBLIC LIBRARY
I run my widely popular botanical art
programs directly through community networks, primarily partnering with the Toronto
Public Library (TPL)
system. Because I operate as an independent guest instructor, I do not host
classes at a permanent standalone studio. Instead, my workshops rotate across
various city branches throughout the year.
How My Community Workshops Work
👉My hands-on sessions are highly
interactive, and all materials are fully covered through curated craft kits
provided by me at the venue. Past and current workshop themes include:
- Pressed
Flower Necklaces & Cuffs: Designing wearable botanical jewelry.
- Pressed Flower Bracelets: Working with delicate leaves and seasonal blooms to craft custom accessories.
- Seasonal & Holiday Workshops: I regularly adapt my curriculum for the seasons. For instance, my late-autumn and winter schedules frequently focus on crafting miniature holiday scenes inside glass globes and the art of gift wrapping.
